| this is a great song. saying you should just be who you are... weather your despratly trying to fit in, or being as different as possible. He's so right a lot of the time it's really easier to act like someone else instead of being yourself. but when it comes down to it, eventualy you might want to be yourself... but "Now everything’s so far away That you don’t know where you are" | |

| This song is about being yourself. So many people try so hard to be something that they are not and this can become very difficult. Often times being something one is not will complicate things and that person will find that even while they thought they would be happy, they are not. They feel like they have tried so hard to be someone and they are miserable and empty regardless. Pretty much just be yourself and love yourself for who you are... even if no one gets it. | |

| This song is so great because it's basically saying, "Don't worry, hold on, just be yourself!" It's such a great song to listen to if you're really upset about something because it just says that it's okay who you are. Don't spend too much time altering your personality. 1 | |
